Hello All - finished this one up today (finally!). The textures and colors were a bit tricky but overall pretty happy with the final result. Thanks to Tom H for the plaster door (and to the wife for painting it!) John

Wonderful! It was a great learning experience to watch you draft it and bring to fruition. |

Excellent job! Could you tell me about the base, it looks painted blue with silvery color coconut. I like it because the paint still shows through, something I struggle with . Thank you! |

Thanks All! Lynn, I too struggle trying to get the base 'just right'. I usually experiment on cardboard pieces until I get something that I like. For this one, there is light blue paint base. I let it dry and then put a light coat of Modge Podge and sprinkled the blue coco first and then silver. Also, I sprinkled some dark blue sand on it. I never tried that before! I attached a close-up, hopefully you can see and then a combination of blue and silver coco and then the dark blue sand. Hope all is well! John

Hi John, thanks for the great info and the close up pictures. I never would thought to use sand and I have lots of it. This is a true inspection!!! |
